Re: What does YOUR Name Mean?
Hi, I'm the Divine Messenger of the Dead Spring, nice to meet you. There are a few different ways to interpret my name. My first name can be either the literal, original Hebrew meaning of "God is My Hero", or what I consider the more appropriate form, some sort of divine/heavenly "Messenger" or "Cou...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
In page 57, the Historian Construct says something that always made me curious: Unseemly though it is to appear before you in such a meager form, our Loroi hosts are unwilling to permit access to any more resource than this. We must adapt. Surely your excellency will allow for this circumstance and ...

Re: Page 137: Adieu SG-51
No matter how hard you try, every single FTL method will create paradoxes.
You can even use clever tricks to avoid it from yours and your target's Reference Frames, but there will always be another frame of reference, somewhere, where it will be breaking causality.
It sucks.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Arioch, I was wondering, do the Loroi have any inhibitions against eating their dead? As a warrior species, I guess funeral rites would be important to them, but at the seem time, they do seem to me the kind of efficiency-oriented species that wouldn't want to waste the snack.

Re: Page 134: For Science!
I can't understand why some people seem so distressed by the possibility of romance in Outsider . The webcomic, we must agree, falls somewhere close to a Space Opera in genre (more specifically, I think, the "New Space Opera" genre, which incorporates elements of harder sci-fi into the mix). Romance...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Regarding Tempo and her ability to read Alex; I was re-reading the comic yesteday, and when seeing it all in one go, I got the distinct impression that in page 112 , the face Tempo makes is due to her beying extremely exhausted. My interpretation is that during that whole exchange between them, she ...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
As for "professional"... Alex does have the reputation of being quite a maverick, with some demerits to his name. So if it helps the long term goal - fostering understanding and perhaps an alliance between Loroi and Humans - he might go for a bit of less-than-professional behavior. After all, while...

Re: Page 133: "Will you permit it?"
my money is on Alex being able to sense, somehow, that Beryl is trying to reach him. I don't think he'll be able to respond in any telepathic way, but maybe they'll be able to change the "shapes" that he is seeing?
Part of me would love if Novius' suggestion did come about though...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
just got a nasty feeling that it might not be a very good idea for Loroi to visit earth.... if humans have a telepathic basic ability(as the template for Loroi it seems likely) why have such strong telepathic shielding on a automatic or even instinctual level? the only reason i can think of is that...

Re: 130: deep jumps vs. white dwarves
Now, you could argue that a white dwarf isn't dense enough to significantly affect the slope of the gravity well, and I haven't done the math to contradict you, but in principle a denser object has a steeper gravity well. I've done a quick investigation, and I feel it is safe to say that they do. W...

Re: When did you join the forums /start reading Outsider?
I myself started reading Outsider around the same time page 101 was released. I binged on it, and've been reading ever since.

I was reading the Insider and, that we know of, there are 3 confirmed sentient species using the Soia-Liron biochemistry.

This is completely superfluous to story-related subjects, but I do wonder... We have a good grasp on what 'Humaniti' is like in 2160, but we don't really know much about the years leading to it. Have you, by any chance, given any though to a Human-equivalent of the Loroi's timeline in the Insider? I...
